But pun fans can also rejoice, because users have concocted some truly brilliant reviews of the series on the shopping website.

One says: "Ep 4,5,6,7,8,9 & 10, 11 and 12 is the first time 'modern' Who has done a long multi-episode arc and about time too. 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' sees the Doctor stuck on a Games show planet where all is not as it seems.

"Every episode sees the Doctor traversing through a game show, I didn't see the point really. The Daleks were fun to watch in Jeopardy. Every 'question' to the answer was Exterminate."

Another fan pokes fun at Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, joking: "The Peter Jackson directed 'Indictment of the Daleks: Part 1', 'Indictment of the Daleks: Part 2 - Part 1' and 'Indictment of the Daleks: Part 2 - Part 2' is a captivating 9-hour story set between the hours of 4pm and 5pm."

"Cumberbatch goes full Smaug and damn well roasts, chews, and swallows the scenery, taking the Doctor and Clara into an epic two-part episode back in Medieval Scotland which also stars Richard Madden (Robb Stark from Game of Thrones)."

One user adds: "I was pleasantly surprised to see Tom Hiddleston guest star as Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. "

The time-travelling concept of ordering a box set that doesn't exist yet doesn't seem to phase fans in the slightest, though.

One explains: "I ordered this DVD next week, and was delighted to find it had arrived by Christmas 2007."

Another adds: "When this arrived through my letterbox this morning I was very confused as I don't remember ordering it. After checking with Amazon it turns out I will order it at some point in the future for a past delivery. Tremendous."

Still wondering what you can expect from series 8? We'll leave you with this final review: "When you finally get your hands on this (I personally have had it since 1533), you are in for the biggest treat."
